Despite being a short book, this one was thought-provoking and insightful. Especially during the first chapters, the author really made me reflect on the world around me and how I am currently living my life. It made me realize that I should know which things are really important and what I should do about them. However, I did not like how I the narrator/main character would go on a tangent about something insightful or heavy topic but then he would digress into mundane stuff out of nowhere. The book had so much potential. It could’ve talked about the topics it had happened more instead of just leaving them up in the air and letting the readers think about it. The last chapters were confusing and anticlimactic as well. Still, I did like how this book made me feel so it wasn’t at all bad. I would still recommend this to others, just so they could have food for thought about life too.
